RN Discharge instructions (peds)

ED nurses are the best! 
They know their patients the best. 
Would you be so kind as to assist with discharging this patient with the
following:
  1. Ensure
    family understands appropriate dosing for the patient’s weight for ibuprofen
    and acetaminophen (with the instructions that I provided with the discharge
    paperwork).  Note that 1 kg = 2.2 pounds
    for conversion. 
  2. The
    work/school note is for you (the RN) to fill out per your discretion, if you think the family needs it.
  3. Ensure
    the family is aware of how to contact their primary care doctor for follow up.
    If not, please request registration to come to provide that information to the
    family.
